blood & stars

It all began so startlingly for me From the start And as I grew to know of you You came To be with me With every hour I spent with you You took me higher to see clearly I was afraid to know you deeper You took my hand, you took my hand And you said "It's not manna from heaven It's only blood in your veins It's a gift you've been given Feel the rain Of blood and stars" And on that day when you drew me close and opened me With a knife I felt the blood and the passion so very deep I couldn't weep I kept the box of my emotions Locked up all tight and neat I felt your desire frustrated I felt you pounding at my heart and you screamed "It's not manna from heaven! It's my blood in your veins! You will kill my gift you've been given I'll give you PAIN Feel the reign— Of blood and stars!"
